[QUOTE=Barefoot;722610]How I love happy dog threads! The story about Meg and Bear taking turns in the princess bed is so cute!
We adopted Lollipop when she was 3 and weighed 70 lbs. That's way too big to sleep on the bed, right? Fireboy and I agreed that the dog would never be allowed to get up on human furniture. She has a comfortable thick bed in every room.
Three years later, Fireboy has fallen madly in love with Lollipop. She learned very quickly that he is the permissive one, and I'm the bad one. She never gets up on furniture when I'm around. But the rest of the time she takes great delight in sleeping wherever she wants. Of course, she jumps down when she hears my footsteps in the hall, and innocently pretends she's been sleeping on her dog bed the whole time.[/QUOTE
Boy, do you have that one right! My husband never wanted a dog. 18 years ago he went out of town, and our younger son and I went out and got one. The cute puppy was ignored by Ron until he was about four months old. I have pictures of Ron lying on the couch, Bear lying on top of Ron, and they're both watching tv. Ron was the one who first invited Bear up onto the bed (fortunately, it made Bear too hot, so he would jump down after 10 minutes). And he was also the one who started feeding him from the table, turning him into a beggar.
Luckily, the beggaring was annoying enough that with Crosby, he has never fed him people food. But the lengths he goes to caring for Crosby is amazing for someone who never wanted the first puppy, or the second puppy, and who won't want the third puppy!
